I make 10pounds (of meat) Italian Meatballs and put them in freezer bag dinner-sized portions for when I'm on the road and the wife is stuck late at work. My son will eat anything (outside of vegetables) that I make.
2/3 80% ground beef
1/3 Italian sausage
Cup of bread crumbs per 3lbs of meat
1/2 container of grated parmesean cheese
1 egg per pound of meat
Container of Italian seasoning per 10 lbs
1/2 McCormicks Montreal Steak seasoning
Salt
Pepper
Mix it all, then put 1/2 bread crumbs/1/2 grated parm in a medium bowl and the rest of the McCormicks steak seasoning.
1 1/2inch meatballs that get rolled in the above. Bake them in the oven till the centers are 170F. (Kids eat cooked meat). I cook them at like 425F in a cake pan with a silicone matt on the bottom that is pyramids. You can also use muffin pans.
Cool them on a rack. Ziploc'em and enjoy for the next 3-4 months.
Cut them in half to nuke them. Add sauce and spaghetti. Even my MIL is a fan.
Not saying they are gourmet, but more that my kids like them, it makes my wife's life easier and it's funny to watch my kids get older and they still call them "Daddy Meatballs".

It's that simple.
